MXSeries Router ATM Ethernet InterworkingFunction

Youcan configure an MX Seriesrouter as part of an ATM Ethernet interworkingfunction
(IWF)scenario mapping outer and inner VLAN tags to ATMVirtual Path Identifier (VPI)
andVirtual Channel Identifier (/VCI).
TheATM Ethernet interworkingscenario is shown in Figure 10 on page 77. The MX Series
routeris configured as the Provider Edge2 (PE2) router in the figure to support the ATM
EthernetIWF. Ethernet is the only transport type supported.

ThePE1 router translates betweenATM and Ethernet VLANs. Only an M Series router
canfunction as the PE1 router.
ThePE1 router translates betweenthe ATM VPI and VCI and Ethernet VLAN tags as
follows:
ATMVPI to and from outer VLAN tagof the Ethernet frame
ATMVCI to and from inner VLAN tagof the Ethernet frame
